How do they get your card details

Or do not have stupid Contactless technology. Oh and by the way, mobiles phones are often the source of these frauds as there is far less security on all those app's everyone is so OBSESSED with. Be very wary.
Oh and even dafter are the new stick on CC labels that you stick to rear of mobile phones. Making them into contactless phone card combo's! Duh!
Not saying that I will never get caught out, but I never use ATM's now, always try and use paypal, so no card details given or I go to bank or post office to get cash over and above £50 cashback. So far so good.

At the moment I don't have a contactless card I think because Santander is too busy losing money in the South American nationalisations of Spanish companies. But they'll get around to it sooner or later.

I've researched contactless RFID exhaustively which is how I have the information. Much of the objections to it are based on data gained from tracking type RFID transmitters which have a much longer range than U.K. bank card transmitters. Also if there is more than one contactless card in a wallet they will cause interference with each other so blocking sleeves in that situation are a must-have.

As Barclays customers found out, when a bank issues contactless cards there are no options to refuse it unless the account is closed.
